EyeQue Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This latest build is certainly using a lot of my CPU. I don't remember other builds being so greedy Am I alone in noticing this? Using a laptop with an i7 7700hq and Nvidia 1060 6GB, 16GB mem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Nope, It could be the images caching which it does when you click on a platform, you will see a very thin progress bar going across the top of the screen when its caching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeQue Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yeah...it seems to have settled down now. I noticed it because my fans where really giving it some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 When you click on a platform for the first time in next it will cache the images for that platform, as i said you can watch a very thin progress bar at the top of the screen when it is doing this. That would be my guess as to whats happening because as you can see in my image i am using 0% cpu, but i already have all the images cached.

DOS76 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I'm confused OP says its using a lot of CPU then you show it using a lot of memory which is apples and oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yeah I rarely ever get high cpu usage from LB so I would say his being that high is abnormal on an i7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That is the spike I get on a caching operation but its only about 32% on a i5 6500 with SMS almost 600 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yeah i havent tested as all my images are cached, but i wonder if that would spike higher if it was caching the "ALL" category as its then caching different size boxes from different platforms all at once, just a theory.

EyeQue Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 I guess I do have a lot of games Oh!...LaunchBox has stopped downloading videos for newly added games. I've made sure the box is ticked etc. Nothing has worked. I get all screenshots, boxart etc, but no video. Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeQue Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 I've just sat and watched Process Explorer for a minute or two (sad twat I know . The whole laptop was using just over 2% CPU, of which LaunchBox was using 1%. Just checked again before posting this: Still 1.10%. It's no big deal; earlier I was shocked at the CPU usage.

EyeQue Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Last one! I have LaunchBox searching only for Steam videos. 4 cores and 8 threads and she (I think of LaunchBox as a she) hogs just the one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd That is something that i have seen also, Jason is aware of it and is looking into it, it appears to be steam api related. Strange thing is though that it isnt happening for everyone, so its a little difficult to diagnose at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeQue Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks for the reply. At least I can stop thinking I'd done something idiotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
